This is perfectly true, nobody is saying that BJP supporters as a group are hardcore or fanatics or anything like that, they are obviously largely 'normal', middle-of-the-road people. The problem is that the BJP is completely controlled by the hardcore element, namely, the RSS -- a fact that neither the BJP nor the RSS bother to hide but in fact flaunt proudly. And thus the BJP's main agenda becomes to spread the pernicious agenda of Hindutva. I won't go into further details, the issue has been adequately discussed on this forum over the years. -- Question everything -- Karl Marx
